I did like this edible replica of one of Mikko's favorite waterfront haunts.

Alrik was also a fan.

Aw!

Then it was time to run to another hotel to see the gingerbread houses on display.
Well, some of us ran. Most of us walked.

Brothers Grimm castle

How many of these fairy tales have you read?
If you want to brush up, might I suggest my favorite translation and
recommend you start with "Hans My Hedgehog"?
HI-larious (and not listed here — oversight, I'm sure).

Aladdin and the sultan's palace

Little Mermaid (and keep in mind this is all edible!)

Beauty and the Beast

Step through the wardrobe into Narnia and meet with Father Christmas.

New-school Alice in Wonderland

Vintage Alice and the White Rabbit.

I have to say I think it's amusing that this sweet-toothed display is
sponsored by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation …
and that they give you a candy cane when you enter.

Then the boys and I were set loose to figure out our bus ride home
with altered routes and without a smartphone handy. And we did. Yea!

what a fun looking place to visit for the holidays! Looks like it took a balloon to finally coach a smile out of Mikko. Nice weather for looking at everything too.Have a wonderful Christmas & Hanuka Season!
